Passivity based control of the inverted pendulum

  • Chapter
Perspectives in Control

Summary

The inverted pendulum has been used as a benchmark for motivating the study of nonlinear control techniques. We propose a simple controller for balancing the inverted pendulum and rise it to its upper equilibrium position. The control strategy is based on the passivity properties of the cart and pendulum system.
